I do not believe there is a way to make the operating system read your mind to know what permissions you would like on a given text file. However, some editors might be able to make guesses by the extension on a file name. Check your favorite editor's docs and other resources. That said, you might be intersted in umask(1). You also might think of hitting the enter-key every once in a while; your paragraphs are all on one line. -- Crist J.
